5.0

I finished the audiobook this week and I am unwell in all the best ways. When it comes to second chance romances, it's typically not a trope I seek out and don't find myself reading. However, this book was utter PERFECTION and I am now a second chance girlie. 

For one week every summer, Indya Keller and her family visits a ranch in Montana. And every summer during that one week, Indya falls more in love with West Haven. 

There aren't enough words to describe how much I loved Crossroads and I cannot stop thinking about it. Like, I'm pretty sure it's going to be my Roman Empire for the foreseeable future. The story of Indya and West was beautiful and filled with so much emotion that I lost track of how many times I cried. My heart was broken and put back together with these two. Their love is just so powerful and seeing it from the very beginning when it first started in those summers in Montana intertwined with the present was done phenomenally. I didn't think a paper airplane would make me emotional, but darn it Devney, you got me. 

You can definitely expect me recommending Crossroads to everyone I know, even if they don't ask for one. I cannot wait for Sunlight and in the meantime, I'll be taking a trip to the Edens 💜

Quotes:
“I’d loved West Haven for what felt like my entire life. Even though I’d never said the words. Even though I’d never made him a promise. Even though I’d married another man. West was mine. Even though he wasn’t.”

“Collisions on crossroads. West and I were nothing but collisions on crossroads.”

“Never in my life had I been awestruck by a woman like I was with Indya. Something expanded in my chest, making it hard to breathe. Maybe it was seeing her in my shirt. Maybe it was just having her here. Mine. She was mine.”

“I wished I had kept her. I wished our timing had worked years ago. I wished I had waited. I wished she had waited too.”
